CloudBlue Technologies, Inc., a provider of
e-waste management services has received the e-Stewards Certification
by the Basel Action Network (BAN) for its six processing facilities
in Alpharetta, Georgia, Chandler, Arizona, Indianapolis, Indiana,
Joliet, Illinois, Pine Brook, New Jersey, and Sterling, Virginia.
The e-Stewards Certification is the world’s most rigorous independent
e-waste certification program and is awarded only to e-waste
providers who pass an extensive independent audit process.

By achieving the certification, CloudBlue has demonstrated that
the company’s e-waste management services meet and exceed the
complete list of e-Stewards regulations. Certified e-Stewards
requirements include:

Prohibition of toxic waste disposed of in solid waste landfills.

Full compliance with international hazardous waste treaties.

Social accountability ensuring fair labor practices, including
elimination of prison labor in the recycling of toxic and data-sensitive
electronics.

Extensive baseline protections for recycling workings in
every country worldwide.

A certified Environmental Management System (EMS) for maintaining
environmental and occupational health and safety policies.

Strict management of downstream vendors to promote compliance
throughout the recycling chain.

Reporting of all incoming and outgoing weights through
Mass Balance Accounting (MBA) policies to ensure accountability
and visibility of all e-waste received and processed.

In addition to e-Stewards operations requirements, CloudBlue
ensures complete transparency for customers while managing all
logistics of IT asset disposal from pick-up to recycling or refurbishing.
Customers are able to track each item online and receive a comprehensive
audit detailing the process and end result of all equipment.
Its distributed operations model and exclusive-use trucks limit
transportation between pickup and processing locations.
